Chapter 313: Bloodline Transformation

The matter of crushing the Eastern Yi seven-branch allied forces in one battle caused a sensation throughout the Eastern vassal states.

"What, Qi King actually defeated the 1.4 million Eastern Yi allied forces; how is this possible?"

"Heavens, I didn't expect the First Prince's military attainments to be so high, expanding the territory by sixty thousand li—what a merit is this?"

"Previously, I thought the First Prince was greedy for merit and rash; now it seems he was confident."

"Haha, the First Prince is talented in both civil and military affairs; the position of Crown Prince is stable."

……

The struggle for the Crown Prince was known to the world.

The first assessment, Yin Qi had already won, and the second assessment was also a sure thing.

They had also paid attention to Yin Shou, but his battle record was mediocre.

Thus, in order to befriend the future Human Emperor in advance, the Eastern vassal states sent envoys one after another.

Even other vassals sent envoys to Zhaoge one after another.

The outside world was bustling, but it did not disturb Yin Qi.

Major military matters were handled by the Fengyun Sect.

Those the Fengyun Sect could not handle would be asked of the clone.

His original body set up an array in the tent and refined the bloodline crystals of the eight great priests, including Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan, Rushou bloodline, naturally controls metal.

Second Priest, Xuanming bloodline, naturally controls ice.

Third Priest, Dijiang bloodline, manipulates space.

Fourth Priest, Qiangliang bloodline, naturally controls thunder.

Fifth Priest, Houtu bloodline, naturally controls earth.

Sixth Priest, Gonggong bloodline, naturally controls water.

Seventh Priest, Rushou bloodline, naturally controls metal.

Eighth Priest, Tianwu bloodline, naturally controls wind.

Refining the bloodline crystals of the eight people, Yin Qi felt his bloodline undergo some kind of transformation, actually raising his physical body cultivation to the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm; one must know that Wu Yuan was only at the mid-stage of the Heaven Witch.

"Perhaps, it is because I fused eight types of bloodlines."

Yin Qi was lost in thought; he had fused the bloodlines of Dijiang, Zhurong, Gonggong, Houtu, Xuanming, Rushou, Qiangliang, and Tianwu, and also mastered eight types of abilities, or rather, innate supernatural powers.

The twelve Ancestral Witch bloodlines originated from Pangu, but they each only possessed one type of Pangu's bloodline ability.

And he had actually fused eight types.

In a sense, his bloodline was now the closest to Pangu's.

It was precisely because of this that some changes occurred.

It was just a pity that bloodline abilities could not be cultivated and could only be improved with the improvement of the bloodline.

After refining the bloodline crystals, Yin Qi refined the memory crystals of the eight people, obtained their experience in using bloodline abilities, and then used his fingernails as a carrier to open up a small space within them.

This method of using body parts as a carrier to open up a small space was the ability of the Dijiang bloodline.

Although it was a fingernail, its hardness was no less than an immortal artifact.

Compared to a storage ring, this small space was larger, a full five hundred li in radius and a thousand meters high; in the future, all kinds of supplies could be put into this small space, and it was even more hidden.

……

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.

The Heavenly Dynasty envoys finally arrived, bringing the decree of the Human Emperor Di Yi.

Before the commander's tent.

Yin Qi, the Fengyun Sect, the rulers of the four states of Cao, Sui, Jiang, and Shan, and many high-level generals, a full hundred people, listened to the rewards announced by the Heavenly Dynasty envoy.

Yin Qi was a Prince, and could not be added to; he could only be compensated in terms of fiefdom and rewards.

His fiefdom was increased from the original thousand li to five thousand li, and there were also all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry, cultivation resources, etc.

The Fengyun Sect remained a Marquis, and his title was not raised.

But his proper wife and legitimate sons and daughters were all rewarded, which was considered compensation; he also obtained a fiefdom of ten thousand li within the Taiyuan Mountain Domain, twenty thousand Eastern Yi slaves, and one-tenth of the other spoils.

The states of Cao, Sui, Jiang, and Shan also obtained fiefdoms, as well as all kinds of rewards, including Eastern Yi slaves.

Finally, the various generals were basically promoted and rewarded generously.

Although Qingzhou and the Cao State and others all obtained fiefdoms, they only occupied one-third of the newly occupied territory; the other two-thirds of the fiefdoms were divided by Di Yi to the many princes of the royal family, ordering them to build states there.

This was basically the usual practice of the Yin Shang, dividing the newly occupied territory to members of the royal family, ordering them to build states, thereby guarding the central imperial court from all sides.

In fact, the Yin Shang Heavenly Dynasty had over eight hundred vassals, among which over two hundred were descendants of the Yin Shang royal family.

After announcing the rewards, the envoy said to Yin Qi: "Your Highness, the Great King's decree orders you to temporarily sit in this place, be responsible for clearing out the remnants, supervise the construction of Zhenyi Pass, and return to Zhaoge after the one-year period expires."

"Accept the decree!"

Yin Qi bowed in salute.

………

Time passed, and the one-year period arrived in the blink of an eye.

In the newly occupied territory, the remnants had basically been cleared out, and even if there were fish that slipped through the net, they could not make any big waves.

Zhenyi Pass had also been built.

The newly built Zhenyi Pass was extremely magnificent, eighty li long and twenty zhang high; after the blessing of Earth-type immortal arts, the entire city wall was integrated, and no gaps could be seen.

Besides this, 'Daoist Yang' had also set up a peerless array in Zhenyi Pass, which could withstand Heavenly Immortals.

To avoid the 'mountain moving' situation from happening again, he had reinforced the entire Long'an Mountain Range, all shrouded in the array formation, which could resist the invasion of 'mountain moving'.

In this way, if the Eastern Yi wanted to attack again in the future, they could only attack Zhenyi Pass.

To set up this array formation that shrouded tens of thousands of li, Yin Qi had been busy for over four months, consuming I don't know how many materials.

Fortunately, this time they had won a great victory and the spoils were sufficient, so he didn't have to stick his own money into it.

In addition, seven states had been established in the newly occupied territory.

Among them, the Cao State was the largest, with a radius of ten thousand li, because the Cao State had to be responsible for Zhenyi Pass.

As an outpost for resisting the Eastern Yi, the national strength naturally could not be too weak.

The ruler's name was Yin Chi, a Marquis, the youngest brother of Di Yi, only a few years older than Yin Qi; his talent was not prominent, but Zhenyi Pass was too important, and Di Yi did not feel at ease handing it to others.

In addition, the fifty thousand-strong army that had participated in the expedition also joined the Cao State on the spot, responsible for guarding Zhenyi Pass.

From this, one could see Di Yi's love for this youngest brother.

After attending the farewell banquet held by Yin Chi, Yin Qi also left with the Jiaolong Guard.

The Fengyun Sect suddenly said: "Your Highness, returning to Zhaoge is not urgent; why not go to my Qingzhou for a sit."

"The Marquis invites me; I am not honored enough!"

Yin Qi smiled gently.

Facing the Fengyun Sect's show of goodwill, he naturally would not refuse.

Moreover, after a year of getting along, he also felt that the Fengyun Sect was a good person and a talent worth winning over.

The Fengyun Sect smiled happily: "Please!"

……

Qingzhou City.

Today, the Marquis Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and the servants were busy without stopping.

Because the Marquis had sent a letter back saying that today, Qi King would come to the Marquis Mansion as a guest.

A year ago, although Yin Qi's reputation for benevolence was widespread, he was still too far away from Qingzhou.

But now, Yin Qi's name was real and present by their side.

Destroying the Red Yi, crushing the Eastern Yi allied forces—these were all sky-high merits; who didn't know, who didn't understand.

Marquis Mansion backyard.

The Qingzhou Marquis's wife was a middle-aged beautiful woman; she was giving instructions to a beautiful girl: "Yanyan, your father intends to marry you to Qi King; you must not be willful.

Although the Prince already has a proper wife, you going as a flat wife is not a disgrace to you.

In the future, once the Prince ascends the throne, you will at least be a Noble Consort."

Feng Yanran looked fifteen or sixteen, wearing a goose-yellow dress, her long hair draped behind her back, gently held by a silver silk ribbon.

Her features were exquisite, her skin as white as jade, and her temperament gentle and quiet.

Especially a pair of eyes, black and pure as a lake of spring water, capable of evoking the most beautiful memories in one's heart. ===== CHAPTER 314 =====
